Any idea if these are likely to fail anytime soon looks like it's common, others I've seen on ebay have them also.

It is hard to be certain without seeing them in the flesh so to speak but those look like casting marks rather than cracks.

Not cracks. Nothing to worry about. Just the way the casting looks.

Good, I guess if it lets go it would just rattle about and scrape the clutch cover to warn me and not jam in the gears and seize . Cheers

You can't see the 'cracks' penetrate the countersunk part of the hole, so I'll go with majority view on this.

Wondering whether to pour some Jb weld around that worse post,might help strengthen it?
